As I look out the window, I sigh. Still, no one to be seen. I see a forest of pine trees, but no movement. I look to the ground; there's a moat and a drawbridge. It seems that I'm quite high up and my vertigo definitely isn't helping. The window is small and has bars on it and my small arms aren't strong enough to break them. It seems as if I'll be stuck in this tower for a while. I sigh again. Where are Natsu and Lucy? As far as I remember, I've only been here for a day, but I was unconscious before, so it could be much longer than that. When I woke up, I was all groggy and confused. "Where am I?" was the first thing I asked myself and yet, I still have no idea.
There's nothing in this cell, nothing but dust and my small weak body. I've thought of as many ways possible to escape but the door is locked and I have no way of opening it. Before I became unconscious, all of Fairytail was in the middle of a battle alongside Sabertooth against an unknown enemy who started attacking Magnolia. Before the battle, Lucy had just told Natsu some important news; she's pregnant, and he didn't seem as overjoyed as expected. He seemed more panicked than happy, but he put on a smile nevertheless. I was jumping excitedly, Erza made a cake and the guild rejoiced, but none of us knew what devastation and destruction lied ahead of us.
A couple of months ago, Fro asked us to help her find her family, because unlike the exceeds who had been to Extalia, she hadn't had the chance to meet hers. All of the exceeds have been spending more time together in order to help Frosch, meaning that bonds have been strengthened and now we all know each other a bit better. Fro and I have been spending the most time together and slowly, we have begun to trust each a lot more. We tried asking Nichiya where the village was, but he said they had moved due to the disturbance it caused other inhabitants.
A few weeks after we started searching, Rogue and Sting went on a dangerous mission, meaning that Fro and Lector had to be left behind. Lector went to stay with Gajeel, Levy and Pantherlily whilst Fro came to stay with Natsu and I. Natsu had been staying with Lucy a lot at the time, it started out as one night, then he'd go back every once in a while, but soon his visits became more and more frequent. I felt quite lonely whenever he left so it was nice having Fro with me when he was gone. One night, whilst he was out once again, Fro and I were alone. We talked and talked and talked until the sun came up. I don't even remember what we talked about, I just remember talking until we fell asleep.
The next morning, when I woke up, I looked to see a sleeping Fro curled up against me on the couch where we had fallen asleep. I had no intention of moving and waking up, but my stomach growled, so I moved as quietly as possible making sure not to wake her up.
After my best attempt at cooking, I went to the garden and pick some pretty pink flowers that I tied up with a little ribbon. I walked back to my room with a tray, upon which I had placed a plate of homemade pancakes, a glass of fresh orange juice, just how she likes it, and chocolate sauce to go over the pancakes. I put it on the coffee table before going back to the kitchen. As I came in with the flowers, I saw Fro awake sitting up on the couch. She smiled gently and then as she saw the tray of pancakes, tears started to form in her eyes. I looked at her in confusion with a look that asked why. She told me she was simply extremely grateful for my hospitality. I wiped away her tears and kissed her forehead.
My memory was cut short by voices coming from outside the door. They aren't familiar at all, but I can tell there are at least two women and a man. They're saying something about killing "them all". I hear the sound of a key unlocking a door and I fly to the part of wall above the door as I wait for them to enter. Once the door opens and I see three masked people enter the room leaving the keys in the door. Shocked, they walk to the middle of the cell.
"What? Where did that stupid blue cat go?" The man asks in anger. I fly out of the cell and lock the door behind me taking the keys as I leave. I can hear their voices behind the door, they're shouting and banging their fists against the door. Their ruckus doesn't affect me, I have a mission to complete and I intend on doing so. I fly down the corridors looking for her, opening each door as I go along, each room containing prisoners, freeing them as I pass. Finally, I reach a room at the end of corridor; I open the door, only to find Fro, injured on the floor wearing her pretty pink frog costume completely torn, barely hanging on her small body. I take off my jacket and put it on her. I shake her trying to wake her up but to no avail. I press my head to her chest trying to listen for a heartbeat. I sigh, relieved as I hear it beating regularly and normally, as it should. I then look to her as her eyelids flutter open; I smile and carry her in my arms then search for an exit; I fly down lots of flights of stairs until I find a door. The door's locked, I try every key, until I hear a click and the door opens, I fly as fast as I can out of the tower. After nearly an hour of flying into the forest, I get tired and fall to the ground, I then look to Fro who had fell asleep again. By now, the masked people must have found a way out of the cell and are possibly searching for us. I fly with all the remaining strength I can gather, up to the top of a tree, where I get a few leaves to make a bed and camouflage for us. I settle us in and hear voices again; I look down to see the masked people, cursing with anger,
"They're all gone! I bet it was that stupid blue cat!" one of them cries as I smirk. I'm too tired for this, so I rest my head on Fro's and I fall asleep.
